To Hell and Gone

Decent little hiest movie. Thought it was going to be far worse than it was. I felt like it sat right on the edge of being really good but never quite got there. If they had written the drifters charachter to be more proactive in his efforts after the action comes to the ranch, I think it would have been much better. He was acting to selfishly for me to really root for the guy which seemed like the writers/directors intent. Acting was ok. Not bad. Not great.

Saw the poor score, had to comment. Interesting from 1st scene, pretty well done on a very small budget. Absolutely worth a watch. Never slow, decent acting, I enjoyed the movie .

I didn't expect much from this movie but it was quite entertaining. I guess the story overrode any acting problems and the Arizona locations were nice. Even my wife liked it and she normally doesn't like movies with violence.

For an obviously low budget seat of the pants movie, I felt it was done well. Not a great film by any stretch, but told a story that was believable. Held my interest as I knew the locales it was shot in and around being Safford, Klondyke, Willcox and Tucson, Arizona. Decent film nonetheless. The characters were believable but the heist was a bit far fetched for the loot. Definitely a situation movie that can happen on any ranch or remote homestead so it brings in the what-would-I-do scenarios. As a back seat observer, it is easy to criticize but I would say it was worth my time. I've definitely sat through worse higher budget films. Good independent modern day western genre type film.

Went into this with somewhat low expectations, but came away not feeling that I had wasted 80 minutes of my life. Not a high budget movie by any means, yet the production quality was pretty good. I didn't see the usual signs of a low budget movie: inept camera work, exceedingly cheap sets, high school level acting. The movie looked good, but to be fair, I spend a lot of time in Arizona and am familiar with most of the filming locations, so I'm a bit biased. The actors looked to be well cast, although one of the bad guys was a bit over the top. The female lead was very well cast. As far as the story goes, I agree with others that the story of the drifter was not as well fleshed out as it should have been. I would've liked seeing his part being more proactive and heroic. Overall, he was a likable character, but it was hard to tell if his actions in the second half of the movie were self-serving, or altruistic. I don't think this movie rates a "10", but it's certainly better than the low ratings here, too.
